Just Say No to Microsoft (Score 1)

Paying for a product that you are going to use is not a "TAX". Having money extracted from you with very little to no exchange in return by a government is a tax. I mean, really. You are paying for an operating system, without which your computer would be a boat anchor. And a suite of programs that do most of what is done on computers in an office. They are software products that you pay for. They aren't free, and you are not constitutionally guaranteed the right to have a working computer and an office suite. It's not a welfare system.
